Who Dey! I grew up in Cincinnati, so I'm a Bengals fan. I actually grew out of being a football fan at all but I'm still excited for the Bengals. I actually went out to the bar to watch the game last night, for the first time, and it was a lot of fun cheering on the team with about 150 others.

Its always good to have some new teams instead of the same ones time and again. But good lord, its the Bengals!

Best playoff games I have ever seen bar none those teams played their way to the Superbowl. Should be a great game as both teams are hungry, I am cheering for the Bengals , if they win my friends from Ohio will be happy.

This years playoffs have been very entertaining but I imagine the bookies are taking a beating.

rusticretreater · January 31, 2022, 02:21:41 PM

Bookies always cry the blues because it makes the suckers feel good that they "outsmarted" them. Experienced books have been in every situation and know how to manipulate the situation and protect themselves. Total uncertainty is where they make the big bucks. The bookies have it down so good they offer spot plays during the games.

old age and treachery will always overcome youth and enthusiasm

I used that phrase often to explain how my over 30 baseball team would beat the over 20 teams time and again.

I don't know how they call that pass by Mahones an interception.To me it was one of those moments in sports where the Leprechauns show up.
I have no horse in this race.

poor old loosing lions trade stafford away and look where hes at,, just like verlander

sawguy21 · January 31, 2022, 09:38:54 PM

:D Stafford must be grinning. The CFL Edmonton Eskimos let a beloved coach go presumably because of a drinking problem, he signed with Montreal who came back and beat the Eskimos in their own stadium for the Grey Cup. As much as I loved the Eskies it was poetic justice.

Yup. No wonder yoopers are mostly cheese heads and brewers fans.

Not a TV person. Have not watched a game all year, but I might watch this one. I did the same thing last year and the year before that too. I watch the super bowl. Don't know why. But I do.

SawyerTed · February 10, 2022, 12:26:46 PM

This was the most enjoyable playoff season in many many years. Watching two teams fight and out play their opponents against expectations has been great!

I'm too old to pick sides in sporting events anymore. It takes too much energy. I enjoy seeing the athletes execute their positions. My wife usually roots for the team that has the ball, turns out I'm happier that way too. :D

My hope is that it is a competitive game and the stars for both teams shine.

Corley5 · February 10, 2022, 12:42:16 PM

I haven't watched any football game in years. They will be no change in that

hacknchop · February 14, 2022, 10:35:06 AM

Superbowl did not disappoint, was a good close game. I even liked the 1/2 time show which i usually don't. I don't think it would be much of a surprise to see the Bengals back again next year.

sawguy21 · February 14, 2022, 11:25:08 AM

It was a good game, kept everyone glued to the tv until time ran out. We pretty much ignored the half time show, more hype than substance, and none of the commercials were particularly inspiring. We had the American feed.

Tom King · February 14, 2022, 11:38:51 AM

We weren't really pulling for either team, but after the Bengals went ahead as a result of a missed call on OPI, we were glad it didn't determine the outcome of the game.

This has been the most competitive year I ever remember. Quite a number of different teams could have won it all, but for a small number of errors, or bad luck.

aigheadish · February 16, 2022, 11:03:36 AM

Yup, still who dey!

I agree with hacknchop that the bengirls may be trouble for the foreseeable future. They look pretty good.

Ron Scott · February 16, 2022, 05:05:36 PM

Glad for Mathew Stafford after all the physical beatings he took with the Lions.

Walnut Beast · February 14, 2023, 09:57:48 AM

Representing the Midwest!! HOW ABOUT THEM CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!! The third most watched Super Bowl in history! 87% of everyone in Kansas City watched!!!!

The big loser Terry Bradshaw!!!!! 100 million plus watching and saying why don't you waddle over here to Andy Reid!!! Then have a cheeseburger on us! Absolutely a bum!!

aigheadish · February 15, 2023, 03:04:42 PM

Ha! WB, I thought that was a pretty trashy thing of Bradshaw to say too. Super rude, but maybe they are buddies and give each other grief like that...
